Custom software · AI-accelerated · Priced for small business

Anyone can prompt an app.
We build the one your business can run on.

We build custom software for small businesses — scoped in a week, priced monthly, and yours when it's paid for.

AI makes it easy to generate code. It doesn't tell you what the database needs, where the security holes are, or what breaks the day a second employee logs in. We've built it before and broken it before.

How it works

Three steps. Stop after any of them.

A price before a build, a fixed scope, and nothing you didn't approve. Every price is on this page.

  1. Step 1 · free

    Get your scope and price

    The Snapshot prices what you want built from your answers: the build, any Modules, and how long it takes.

    Free no call needed

  2. Step 2 · 2 weeks and up

    Build it. Own it.

    A fixed-scope build at a fixed price. The bigger ones start with the $1K Diagnostic. When it's paid for, the software is yours.

    $3.5K–$50K one time

  3. Step 3 · month to month

    Keep it running

    Synergy Care hosts and protects it, and Synergy Evolve keeps adding features. Every build includes 30 days of Care.

    $495–$1,250 a month

The question we hear most

"Can't I just prompt my way to an app?"

You can — and you'll get something that demos well. What you won't get is a data model that survives year two, permissions that keep one client from seeing another client's file, backups, an audit trail, or anyone who can tell you why it broke on a Tuesday.

Generated code is the easy twenty percent. The other eighty is knowing what a system needs to be enterprise-ready at small-business scale. That's the part we've spent a career on.

For trades and home-service businesses

Service OS Pro

One portal for quotes, scheduling, dispatch, and the paperwork behind every job — built so the office, the field, and the customer all see the same truth.

  • Roles for owner, office, technician and customer — each sees only what they should
  • Every job carries its own auditable history: who did what, when
  • Pay monthly and we carry it, or pay it off over twelve months and own it outright
“Before, we were on Salesforce, Excel, and manual processes. Having everything together in one place is just too easy.”
Owner, Black Pearl Painters — change-order disputes went from 3–4 a month to 0
Explore Service OS Pro

Second question

"What does 'enterprise-ready' even mean for a twelve-person company?"

The same things it means for a twelve-thousand-person one, at a scale you can afford: a real database with a real schema, role-based access, encrypted data, logs you can audit, and a plan for the day something fails.

We write those into the scope before anything is built, and test them before anything ships. You get the discipline, not the invoice.

For accounting and tax firms

Firm Ops

Intake to completed service in one place: documents, milestones, approvals, and advisor guidance — with one sign-in for staff and clients instead of seven disconnected tools.

“Now the website and the app are one experience: my customers, my team, and I all benefit.”
Owner, Campbell Tax & Accounting — seven tools became one client portal · delivered on Fractional Product Lead
Read the Campbell project story
The Firm Ops staff Today view: open and overdue work, unread client threads, a priority queue of client work with due dates, and the client inbox

Third question

"Why not just buy the software everyone else uses?"

Because "almost fits" is a tax you pay every day — in workarounds, double entry, and staff who quietly stop trusting the system. One size fits all fits nobody well.

We start from your workflow and build only what it needs. Sometimes that means keeping the tools you have and connecting them. Sometimes it means replacing seven of them with one.

For real estate agents · in development

Dwello

A CRM agents run from the personal AI agent they already talk to — Claude, Grok, OpenAI, Instinct — so follow-ups, showings and transaction steps happen in conversation, not in yet another tab. A named person still approves anything that gets sent.

  • Contacts, pipeline and transactions behind one secure record
  • Pairs with our AI transaction coordinator, onboarding and social-posting builds for real estate
“Connecting our real estate resources to the AFH community has been a game changer for my team, for owners, and for buyers.”

We build for ourselves first

Every tool here started as a problem in our own business.

We don't sell a process we haven't run on ourselves. When something slowed us down, we built the fix — then hardened it until it was good enough to hand to a client.

The problem: a stack of business cards and no memory

ConnectQR.us

We network constantly, but a card told us nothing about who someone really is or how we could help them. ConnectQR turns a scan into a real understanding of the person and the relationship — a networking CRM built around giving first.

The problem: editing was the bottleneck on every video

Synergy Edit

We wanted to put out more content, and editing was slow and expensive. Synergy Edit changed the math: we now turn around five full-length videos in a day, edited to a standard we'd put our name on.

5 full-length edits · one day

The problem: guessing at what organic content works

Synergy Studio OS

Research what's already performing, create our own version, schedule the posts — and hand the cut straight to Synergy Edit. One loop from idea to published.

research → create → schedule → edit

Also built for clients

SageLink

Audits, documentation and safety records for a manufacturer

Firm Ops

Intake-to-completed-service system for an accounting firm

Detail Companion

Operating system for auto detailers, from vehicle intake to a quality-checked handoff

AI Transaction Coordinator

Keeps real estate transactions moving with a human approving each step

How we work

Give us a business problem. We'll work it with you, not around you.

A real software development life cycle, run at small-business speed. AI accelerates the building; people decide what gets built and sign off on what ships.

  1. 01

    Engage

    A paid engagement fee, always first. We learn your business, map the workflow, and decide together: buy, build, or keep what you have.

  2. 02

    Design

    Data model, roles, security, integrations and the rules for when AI stops and asks — written down before a line of code.

  3. 03

    Build

    AI-accelerated, engineer-reviewed. Working software you can click on every week, not a reveal at the end.

  4. 04

    Harden

    Testing, permissions, backups, compliance checks, and training your team — the part a prompt never does.

  5. 05

    Rent or own

    Keep it on a monthly plan with us, or own it outright once it's paid for. The price follows the path you choose.

Anthony Smith, founder of Corporate Synergy Solutions

Built by

Anthony Smith

Founder, Corporate Synergy Solutions · Auburn, WA

Ran data and sales operations programs at Microsoft, served as a fractional COO for owner-led businesses, and holds a master's in organizational leadership with Prosci and Six Sigma certifications. You talk to the person who designs and ships your system — not an account manager.

What we bring

Organizational expertise

A master's in organizational leadership, Prosci change management and Six Sigma — so the software lands with the people who use it.

What we bring

Full-stack engineering

Databases, back end, front end. We know what has to be true underneath for the screen on top to keep working.

What we bring

Security and compliance

Role-based access, encryption, audit trails and the questions your insurer, bank or regulator will eventually ask.

What we bring

A long history of mistakes

We've shipped things that broke and fixed them. That scar tissue is most of what you're paying for.

Industries we serve

Specific industries. Specific builds. Specific outcomes.

We've done the work to understand how these businesses actually run — which is why the first conversation starts with your workflow, not our feature list.

Trades & home services

What we build
Service OS Pro: quoting, scheduling, dispatch, job history, invoicing — one portal for office, field and customer.
Why it matters
Jobs stop falling through the cracks between the truck and the office, and the owner stops being the dispatcher.

Accounting & tax firms

What we build
Firm Ops: intake, document collection, milestones, approvals and advisor guidance behind one client sign-in.
Why it matters
Staff stop chasing the same document three times, and clients stop asking "where are we?" — Campbell Tax & Accounting replaced seven tools with one.

Real estate

What we build
Dwello (agent-driven CRM), an AI transaction coordinator, agent onboarding and training, and social posting that runs itself.
Why it matters
Agents live in their phone and their conversations, not in a CRM tab. We meet them there and keep a human on every send.

Manufacturing

What we build
SageLink: audits, documentation and safety records that are current, searchable and ready when the inspector shows up.
Why it matters
Compliance stops living in binders and one person's head, and an audit becomes a report instead of a scramble.

Professional services

What we build
Custom client portals, onboarding and training systems, and intake-to-delivery workflows for firms that serve clients.
Why it matters
Expansive, people-dependent workflows become simple, auditable, multi-user portals your clients can actually use.

Don't see your industry?

Good. We don't start from an industry; we start from a business problem. Bring us yours and we'll tell you — honestly — whether software is the fix.

Start with the free Snapshot

Outcomes we work toward

What changes when the system fits.

  • Seven tools become one portal

    One sign-in for staff and clients, one record of truth, no more re-keying between systems.

  • Decisions stop landing on the owner's desk

    AI prepares the follow-up, the missing-document chase, the draft — your people approve and move on.

  • Customers see a business that has it together

    A portal, a status, a timely answer — the things that make someone choose you and stay.

  • Software you own, at a price you can say yes to

    Custom development usually means six figures. Ours doesn't — and when it's paid for, it's yours.

Questions clients ask

Will I have to replace the tools I already use?

Usually not. We start with what you already use, check which connections are possible before agreeing to a build, and replace only what's costing you. Sometimes the answer is "keep the spreadsheet."

Does the AI make decisions on its own?

No. AI prepares the first pass. A named person approves anything that sends, pays, deletes, or changes a record. We write the stop-and-ask rules with you.

What will the free Snapshot tell me?

It uses your answers about one workflow to suggest a first fix, estimate its cost and show the next step. It cannot inspect your systems. You see your results without a call or email.

Do I own it, or rent it?

You own it. Once a build is paid for, the code, the data and the documentation are yours. Synergy Care or Synergy Evolve keeps it hosted and improving month to month, or you take a handoff and run it yourself.

Do I have to pay for a Diagnostic first?

Not for a Workflow Automation, and it's optional for a Team System. For anything bigger, yes: building the wrong thing well is the most expensive mistake in software. The Diagnostic maps and measures your workflow first, and you keep every document from it whether or not we build.

What if I need someone to build the fix?

Pick the build that fits. The free Snapshot prices it from your answers, and the pricing page lists what each build includes and its limits. The price is fixed before any build starts.

How is this cheaper than custom development?

We build with AI and review like engineers. The generation is fast; the judgment — data model, security, testing — is where our time goes. That's how a small business gets software that used to cost hundreds of thousands.

What results do you promise?

We agree the deliverables in writing and measure your starting point. We report what changed against that baseline. We do not promise savings we have not measured with you.

Is there a long contract?

No. A build is one time, and Synergy Care and Synergy Evolve are month-to-month. A Partnership Tier, if you want one, is a 3-month commitment with no onboarding fee.

Who owns the custom software?

Once the work is done and paid for, the software is yours and we transfer it to you. Your accounts and data are yours from day one. The agreement explains the permanent license to any reusable CSS components.

What happens to my current data — spreadsheets, QuickBooks, the old CRM?

We migrate it as part of the build, you keep the originals, and nothing is switched off until the new system has run alongside the old one. The Diagnostic's tool-and-data inventory is where that plan starts.

What happens after launch?

We train your team and hand over the documentation. Every build includes 30 days of Synergy Care; then stay on Care or Evolve, or run it yourself.

Is this for you?

We're a good fit for some businesses and a bad one for others.

Built for you if

  • You own or run a business of 2–50 people that serves clients
  • One workflow is eating your week — intake, scheduling, follow-up, documents
  • Off-the-shelf tools "almost" fit and you're tired of the workarounds
  • You want to own the software you pay for

Probably not if

  • You want an app built this week with no one looking at the workflow first
  • You're looking for the cheapest possible developer by the hour
  • You need AI to make decisions with no human approving them
  • Your team isn't ready to change how it works, even a little

Pricing

Software you own. Priced before we start.

Four fixed-scope builds, from one automated workflow to a platform for your whole business. The Snapshot prices yours, and the bigger builds start with the Diagnostic. Then keep it running, and add a Partnership Tier if you want a senior lead every month.

How we keep your data safe

Enterprise-ready, shown not claimed.

Read the full security page
  • Your data lives in your accounts. Licenses and AI usage are billed to you directly — we never hold the keys to your business.
  • Encrypted in transit and at rest, with daily backups you can restore without us.
  • Role-based access — owner, staff, client — and an audit trail on every record change.
  • AI never acts alone. Sends, payments, deletions and record changes wait for a named person.
  • You own the code once it's paid for — repository, database and documentation transfer to you.
  • Compliance questions answered in writing for your insurer, bank or regulator, on request.
